      Measure and cut three, six-inch squares of cloth; two for the face and body, and one for the head covering. Measure and cut one, five-inch square for the cloak. Measure and cut one, eight-inch square of fabric for the dress.

    • 2). Roll one piece of the body fabric into a ball to make the head. Drape the second body fabric square over this ball for the body and tie it around the neck with string.

    • 3). Fold the head-covering fabric square in half and drape this over the head leaving the face exposed. Tie the head covering to the body at the neck.

    • 4). Find the center of the dress square by folding it in half, and then in half again. Cut a circle in the center just big enough for the dolls head to fit through. Slip over the doll's head and tie the dress to the body at the neck.

    • 5). Make the cloak by folding the five-inch square into a rectangle. Drape over the shoulders of the doll overlapping slightly in the front and secure in place with a safety pin.
